(Delhi High Court)- Delhi HC has dismissed the petition seeking a direction to the Union of India, Ministry of Human Resource Development, to frame objective standards for determination and levying of royalties of various copyrighted works administered by Phonographic Performance Ltd and the Indian Performing Right Society Ltd and the mode of enforcing and administering such royalties. The association had also sought a further direction for investigation of the books of account of the two copyright societies to ascertain whether they have paid their dues to the owners/authors of copyrights. The association alleged that the government has failed to set down any objective standards and criteria for charging of royalties by the two societies, and the latter are therefore acting arbitrarily in fixing tariffs. The high court rejected the prayers stating that the fixation of tariff or royalties by the two companies in exercise of their powers under the Copyright Act is not arbitrary or unreasonable. The judgment explained that the law itself provided a mechanism for fixing tariffs and the matter can be dealt with by the copyright board.
